INSPIRATION #1
Coldplay have got many great songs and this is definately one of them. I love the ingenuity of this music video. The stop-motion effect is really good!

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED
My new website is now done. Check it out at tomdaniellaugerud.com or tomdaniel.eu. I still haven't a 100% decided with what domain to go with. I used the Wix editor to create my site, cause the little web coding I know won't get me that far. I can do some basic stuff here and there, but that's about it. If you're wondering why I have two domains, it's because I got tomdaniellaugerud.com free through Wix, simple as that.
I've also started this "career blog", where I'm gonna post updates on project, inspirations etc. For me it's really important to separate my "private life" from my "job-life". It's not everything a future boss needs to see and vice versa. Also then I use that as a online journal, not just for myself, but also to use in uni where we have to do a "visual diary" of the year.
In mid June, actually at Gatwick Airport in the VHSmith, I spotted a magazine "Computer arts projects". On the front was the title "Improve your digital portfolio". This issue contained loads of tips on how to show off yourself and your work and how crucial that is in the creative industry. They'd interview people every branch on the industry, film, photo, design, art etc. If you get can a hold of a copy of this, do it, it's well worth the £7,50.

As a "mini-blog" I've set up a twitter account, so follow me @tomdaniel_blog. If I'm working on a project I can post short updates which will then appear on my blog.
Next step:
- I'm soon starting working on my Facebook page, hoping to have that online within August
- Business cards
Please give me feedback,would love to hear your thoughts.

TIME LAPSE ABERTAWE
My newest / old film. A time lapse of Swansea, which I started in February 2011 and countiniued working on until late April. In May some university projects came up, so this project was put on hold. But today I did the finishing touches and uploaded it.
I wanted to experiment and learn more about time lapse. The raw material is composed of 2330 still pictures, shot on my Canon EOS 400D, which then is imported into After Effects as jpg-sequences. In AE I adjusted the size of the pictures and also some brightness/exposure correction on shots with changing lighting (f. ex. inside Quadrant)
I'm not 100% happy with it, cause there is some shakes, over-exposed parts etc. BUT I learned very much from this project. I learned about what different frame rates does, where I used the wrong settings etc. When taking pictures of people I discovered after that it would have been wiser to have shutter speed set to between 1/15 and 1" and have short intervals. This is to avoid them showing as "blips" on screen. So I hope to deliver an even better product next time.
As Timothy Allen, an amazing BBC photographer (still & moving), said about time lapse:
"Experience will be your best teacher here and as you practise you will discover what works best for you."
If you didn't know it, Timothy Allen is one of the photographers behind BBC's amazing Human Planet. Which has some of the best shots I've seen in documentaries ever. Real absolute beauty. He is one my favorite photographers in the world.
